from the PHOTO GALLERY - D.C.'s Hispanic Festival - 1980s







I've been going through my photo archives recently, deciding what's worthy of rescue. From time to time I'll be posting samples here.


Today's photos record more personal moments from what was for many of my years in D.C. my favorite recurring event, what was then known as the Hispanic Festival. Every summer the streets and parks around Adams Morgan were given over to this grand celebration, capped off each year by a stupendous parade.




as Ornette Coleman used to sing:


"Friends and neighbors, that's where it's at."
